Abstract Magnesium alloys have a wide range of applications in shell and bracket parts due to their lightweight properties and excellent mechanical properties. However, the electrochemical activity of magnesium alloys is relatively high, and the corrosion product film is porous and loose, which significantly influences the service performance of the components. In this study, AZ91 magnesium alloy was employed as the research object to examine the impact of combined additions of Ca (0.1%) and varying contents of Sr (0%, 0.05%, 0.15%, 0.25%) on the alloy microstructure and corrosion resistance. The results show that when 0.1Ca and 0.15Sr are combined, the alloy exhibits the most uniform and refined microstructure, and the optimal corrosion resistance with a self-corrosion potential of -1.484 V. As the Sr content increases, the rose-like microstructure of the alloy is refined, and the content of Mg17Al12 in the microstructure is observed to decrease. Conversely, the concentrations of the Al4Sr and Al2 Ca phases demonstrate a significant increase at 0.25% Sr. In the high Sr content, the semi-continuous cathodic phase Mg17Al12 is gradually blocked by the Al4Sr and Al2Ca phases at the solidification interface front, this results in the formation of additional corrosion channels between these phases, leading to a decrease in the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The addition of an appropriate Sr (0.15%) element gene-rates a minimal quantity of both Al4Sr and Al2 Ca cathodic phases, which do not markedly change the distribution of the Mg17Al12 phases, and significantly refines the alloy microstructure, resulting in more uniform and slower corrosion, thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of the corrosion mechanism of the alloy with the combined addition of Ca and Sr was conducted.
